Instructor Assignment

There are two ways to assign instructors to a course: within a course section or by clicking on the Instructors link under the Planner Menu in Offerings Planner.

This page provides instructions for assigning instructors to all courses except Independent Study (IND). Please visit the Independent Study Instructor Management page for instructions specific to IND courses.

Please visit the Instructor Roles page for information about the four instructor role options and how to assign them.

Important to Note

Each Course Section must have at least one instructor assigned one month prior to the start of the course
Instructor assignments do not replicate and need to be added by the department each session a course is offered (IND courses excepted)
Each course section must have a Primary Instructor assigned prior to assigning any other instructor type. If the Primary Instructor is unknown, TBD can be chosen for the instructor name in order to assign other instructors to the section.
